I’ve had a Dell laptop for four years now—that's approaching ancient when one is dealing with the life of a laptop nowadays. Before that, I had an HP that decided one day it simply wouldn’t turn on. Ever again. I might have panicked, but God had inspired me the previous afternoon to save all my latest writings onto… Continue reading Just a little vent…
A Taste of Spring
Bonjour, mes amis! C'est moi, Ellowyne Wilde, back for another post now that spring break is over--for Laurie’s daughters are once again at school and quiet reigns here at the house. While February and March teased Montanans with unusually mild temperatures, April seems to have decided at least one month must come in like a lion and it… Continue reading A Taste of Spring

Oh, the conflict!
Ellowyne Wilde is mad at me. I have done so much writing and reading and researching over the last month or so that she’s feeling a little under-appreciated. With spring officially arriving tomorrow, Ellowyne has PLANS. But before she can implement her plans, I have to find time to drive two hours to Missoula just… Continue reading Oh, the conflict!

In the words of Taylor Swift: Shake It Off!
I’m not a huge Taylor Swift fan (I’m in my late 30’s and my go-to music are works by Yanni and the soundtracks to the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogies, so you'll have to forgive me), but while I might not agree with everything she does or says, I still admire her ability… Continue reading In the words of Taylor Swift: Shake It Off!

Two Steps Forward…
Can I tell you a secret? I’m so excited this week—and God stands smack dab in the middle of it. Back in November of 2013, our church decided to fast and pray over a period of three weeks for God to work breakthroughs in both the congregation as a whole and in our individual lives.… Continue reading Two Steps Forward…

Bonjour, tout le monde! Ellowyne Wilde here with another dolly update. It almost didn’t happen this week, I’ll have you know. Laurie has been hogging the laptop in an attempt to finish the first draft of her Christmas novel (apparently the rest of the Christmas décor around here isn’t coming down until she’s accomplished that!)—but… Continue reading Crafty Cushion

Finish the Ravenna Satchel: check!
I’m sure some of you might be wondering if I’m ever going to follow-up with a post about the felted bag I had worked on over the summer. Well…I finished it! Yay! After I completed the needle-felting process a few months ago, the bag sat in a corner of my bedroom as life sped up… Continue reading Finish the Ravenna Satchel: check!

To Failure!
This is usually the time when people make New Year’s resolutions in the hopes they can keep them. Yet, as statistics show, many fail before the month of January is over. I haven’t made a resolution in years, possibly because I know I’m a work-in-progress—a creature of habit that needs constant nudges to keep me… Continue reading To Failure!

It’s Christmastime in Ello-land…
Merry Christmas! Ellowyne Wilde here. So excited about the upcoming holidays! We’ve been busy decorating, wrapping presents, coiffing for parties, and anticipating the arrival of a new friend: Urban Legend Lizette! Last week, we enfolded her into our family with as much enthusiasm as a pack of moody dolls can muster and Lizette wasted no time jumping… Continue reading It’s Christmastime in Ello-land…

A Thankful Heart
Tuesdays are my writing days. My one day each week where I can sit on the couch with my laptop while my children are at school and write and ponder and hit the delete button and write some more…without guilt. I might write again on another day, but the guilt will tag along with it:… Continue reading A Thankful Heart
